UNITED STATES PATENT FFICEG NON-REFiLLABLE BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 589,741., datedSeptember 7, 1897.

Application filed November 19, 1896. Serial No. 612,766. (No modelo T0at whom it Tim-y concern:

Be it known that I, OLIVER J. Monssnrrn, a citizen of the United States,residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of whichthe following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to simplify the construction, as also toadd to the security of bottles intended to prevent refilling; and theinvention resides in the novel features of construction set forth in thefollowing specification and claim and illustrated in the annexeddrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a bottle. Fig.2 is an inverted plan View of the guard. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevationof the stopper. Fig. a shows details of Fig. 3, and Fig. shows asectional View of the valve-stem of Fig. 3.

The bottle 1 is shown with a neck 2 3 4 5. The neck part 2 3 is taperedor adapted for seating a cork 6. This cork is perforated and at theperforation is provided with a rigid lining 7, such as a glass tube, forgiving the cork 6 proper rigidity or resistance to compression orcollapse.

Into the mouth part a 5 is sealed or permanently secured a guard 10,having circumferential passages 12. While being shipped or out of use,the bottle can be closed by a cork or stopper 13, inserted into mouthpart 5. A wire or tool seeking passage through an opening 12 will bedeflected or turned aside by the indented neck portion 4 or by thebafliing bead or portion 14 in the neck.

The cork 6 is shown with the perforation and lining 7 extended entirelytherethrough, and a closing valve or disk or top 8 is secured tovalve-stem 15. This stem is angular or non-circular or so shaped as notto fill or stop the passage through lining 7. A spider or fastening itprevents the stem slipping tents flow from the bottle past the spider 16and stem 15 through the perforated cork. The neck portion 3 4 is bulgedor bellied to receive or arrest the end of a wire or tool deflectedthereagainst by the bead 14, to which lead the guard-passages 12, andsuch bellied or enlarged portion 3 i also allows the cork 6 to bereadily passed to its seat and gives playroom for valve 8, so that thelatter will not catch or strike against the neck.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim isi A non refillablebottle having its neck formed with a tapering cork-seating portion, abulged portion above the cork-seating portion, a contraction orbaffling-bead above the bulged portion, a guard secured above and havingpassages made to lead to the bead, and

a perforated cork at said cork-seating portion, said cork having a rigidlining for said perforation, a closing-disk, and an angularretaining-stem for the closing-disk extended through the perforation,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
